e-Leadership

European industry has recognised the growing demand for leadership in ICT innovation or e-leadership. Recent research demonstrates that there is a significant shortage of e-leaders in Europe. To close this skills gap, we have applied an ecosystem perspective and identified techniques to improve information flows between demand and supply side stakeholders in e-leadership skills. The improved transparency and timely flow of knowledge about developing skills requirements will enable institutions of higher and executive education to respond. A key practical instrument in communicating skills requirements is the new curriculum profile, which specifies core skills, understanding and competences required by e-leaders today, whether they lead innovation teams bringing specialist understanding of topics such as enterprise architecture or take full responsibility for enterprise innovation at C level.
